Well if they are leaning on the reputation the Swiss as being neutral or otherwise more trustworthy, then it's relevant.

They are neutral and trustworthy. Significantly so.

Nobody is absolutely neutral or always trustworthy. It's argumentation error to move from is not completely neutral and has had some issues to saying "it's all bullshit".

Didn't mean to dismiss them out right. Rather that banking on 'Swiss' as a shortcut isn't wise. Obviously if one does the work to audit those involved or the product/service itself then they can trust it regardless of the marketing.

What does banking has to do with secure messaging? That's pretty basic strawman argument. For example US does Blackwater and did MK Ultra on its own citizens, so what?

Banking en Suisse adheres to Swiss laws, which are heavily influenced by EU and US laws these days. If some private company decides to break the law, they will be handled accordingly.
